I seen were there are only 60 booths boycotting the event at this time.
It would be great if no one shows up at the door. I know I will not be going. I will go to cabelas if I need anything since they are boycotting them.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I haven't received a news letter yet, but I was curious what foxpro was doing for the Sportsmans show in Harrisburg.  For those who also did not receive any info from FoxPro here is the article from their web page if you'd like to read it.....

Last thing I heard they were going, unless they changed their mind within the last 8 hours.

How about getting a bunch of guys and doing a protest or boycott? What else can we do that is legal and more effective than persuading all friends not to go? Have done all I could so far... ;)

It would be cool if we could do a poker run for vendors who have decided to stand with us.

As of right now, We have plans to go down. It is an annual thing that we do, and gets us out of the "cabin" a day. I'm not opposed to boycotting the show, and think it would be great if Cabela's could hold something at their location  or another venue , so it would be a different show altogether.  Chances are we'll make it a trip to Cabela's (or Bass Pro, does anyone no their stance?) instead.

The negative part of boycotting show is that for those vendors who do show up because the show makes or breaks their business, it may put a hurting on them.

Thanks,

I know that I wont be attending this year!  I'm glad to see so many companies, speakers, customers, etc standing up for what is right!  I just wonder how many more vendors need to back out before they decide to cancel the show all together this year?
